This book introduces combinatorial analysis to the beginning student.
The author begins with the theory of permutation and combinations and
their applications to generating functions. In subsequent chapters, he
presents Bell polynomials; the principle of inclusion and exclusion; the
enumeration of permutations in cyclic representation; the theory of
distributions; partitions, compositions, trees and linear graphs; and
the enumeration of restricted permutations.
